Deadline: 2010-06-01
Description: National Bodies in Eastern Europe
We wish to explore the spread of nationalized thinking as it relates to the body. How did people in central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans classify each other in terms of national concepts? What characteristics supposedly distinguished the Czech from the German, the Jew from the Ukrainian, the Romanian from the Hungarian, the Turk from the Greek, and so forth? How did these fantasies of the national body
emerge, and how did they affect human interactions?
Other topics of possible interest include: national bodily practices, literary concepts of national bodies, national sexuality or sexualities, national clothing
or accoutrements, sporting nationalism, or eugenics. We welcome scholars working in history, anthropology, sociology, literary studies, film studies, and other related disciplines.
